Contemporary artist Chen Zhiguang created a stainless steel installation titled Old Opera Stage, sourcing inspiration from the long-standing theater traditions in his hometown Zhangzhou in Fujian province. The huge stage is on display at the National Center for the Performing Arts, on which folk artists will perform the Gezai Opera and hand puppetry that are popular in Zhangzhou. Meanwhile in an exhibition hall opposite the stage, there are pictures and demonstrations introducing Zhangzhou's other cultural heritage, including paper-cutting, carving craft of puppets' heads and cotton painting.
9 am-5 pm, performances at 11 am and 1:30 pm, until Oct 20. 1/F, NCPA, 2 West Chang'an Avenue, Xicheng district, Beijing.
